Rotary Lane Material Cabinet

Rotary Lane Material Cabinet

Rotary Lane Material Cabinet is an innovative material storage and management solution developed by HYVODA for scenarios requiring “high-density storage of small-batch, multi-category materials” and “precision control of material retrieval quantities”. It integrates multi-layer independent rotary lane technology, intelligent identification systems, and centralized background management to achieve “space-efficient storage, automated retrieval positioning, and controllable pick quantities”—addressing pain points of traditional material cabinets such as “low space utilization”, “disordered material placement”, and “uncontrolled over-retrieval”.

This product supports simultaneous operation of multiple rotary lanes and real-time synchronization of material data to a remote management platform. Each lane can be independently configured for material types (e.g., screws, electronic components, small parts), and it automatically records retrieval/return data (operator, time, quantity). It is an ideal choice for electronics manufacturing, automotive parts workshops, pharmaceutical distribution, and logistics warehouses to optimize material storage layout, reduce manual errors, and improve material turnover efficiency.

Features

  1. Multi-Layer Independent Rotary Lanes for High-Density Storage
    The cabinet adopts a vertical multi-layer rotary lane structure (customizable 3-8 layers), with each layer consisting of 4-6 independent rotary lanes. Each lane can rotate 360° around a central axis, and materials are stored in detachable bins attached to the lane circumference. This design eliminates the need for traditional fixed shelves, increasing space utilization by over 60% compared to standard cabinets—especially suitable for workshops or warehouses with limited floor space. For example, a 1200mm×800mm×1900mm rotary lane cabinet can store up to 24 categories of materials (8 layers × 3 lanes), whereas a traditional cabinet of the same size can only store 12 categories.
  2. Precision Pick Quantity Control to Avoid Waste
    Each rotary lane is equipped with a mechanical limit device and an infrared counting sensor. When a user retrieves materials, the system drives the target lane to rotate to the retrieval port, and the limit device restricts the bin’s maximum pull-out range (e.g., limiting single retrieval to ≤5 pieces for small screws). The infrared sensor counts the actual number of materials taken in real time and updates the inventory data immediately. This “controllable pick quantity” function prevents over-retrieval and material waste, reducing material loss rates by over 30% compared to manual random retrieval.
  3. Dual-Mode Material Identification for Accurate Tracking
    The cabinet supports two identification modes to adapt to different material characteristics:

 

  • RFID Identification: For materials with stable RFID signal transmission (e.g., non-metallic components), each bin is labeled with an RFID tag. The system automatically identifies the material type, specification, and remaining quantity when the lane rotates.
  • Barcode/QR Code Identification: For metal materials or small parts sensitive to RFID signals, a barcode/QR code label is attached to each bin. A built-in scanner at the retrieval port reads the code to confirm material information before retrieval.
    Both modes ensure 99.8% accuracy in material identification, avoiding misretrieval of similar-looking materials (e.g., screws of different diameters).

 

  1. Intelligent Lane Positioning & One-Click Retrieval
    Users can search for target materials via the cabinet’s touchscreen (e.g., inputting “M3 screws”) or the remote background. The system automatically calculates the location of the corresponding rotary lane (layer + lane number) and drives the lane to rotate to the retrieval port within 3-5 seconds—eliminating the need for manual searching through layers of shelves. For frequently used materials, the system can set “favorite lanes” to shorten positioning time to ≤2 seconds, significantly improving retrieval efficiency.
  2. Real-Time Inventory Monitoring & Intelligent Early Warning
    The cabinet continuously monitors inventory levels of materials in each lane and synchronizes data to the central background in real time:

 

  • Low Inventory Warning: When the quantity of a material (e.g., capacitors) falls below the preset safety threshold (e.g., 10 pieces), the system triggers a visual alert (flashing yellow LED on the corresponding lane) and sends a restock reminder to the administrator’s background (via email or SMS).
  • Expiration Warning: For time-sensitive materials (e.g., pharmaceutical reagents, adhesive tapes), the system records the production/expiration date. When approaching the expiration date (e.g., 7 days in advance), it alerts users to prioritize usage, reducing expired material waste.
  • Abnormal Retrieval Alert: If a user attempts to retrieve materials beyond the authorized quantity or access an unauthorized lane, the system locks the lane and records the abnormal event for traceability.

 

  1. User-Friendly Design & Stable Operation

 

  • Visual Operation Interface: A 10.1-inch color touchscreen displays material categories, lane status, and inventory levels in a graphical format. Users can complete retrieval/return operations with 2-3 simple touches, requiring no specialized training.
  • Noise Reduction & Shock Absorption: Each rotary lane is fitted with a silent motor (operating noise ≤55dB) and shock-absorbing gaskets, ensuring quiet operation suitable for office-like workshop environments.
  • Emergency Manual Operation: In case of power failure or system malfunction, administrators can use a dedicated crank to manually rotate lanes to the retrieval port, ensuring access to urgently needed materials without disrupting production.

Applications

  1. Electronics Manufacturing Workshops
    Suitable for storing small electronic components (e.g., resistors, capacitors, connectors) in SMT (Surface Mount Technology) production lines. The high-density rotary lanes save workshop space, and precision pick quantity control ensures accurate component supply for automated assembly machines—reducing production line downtime caused by material shortages or over-retrieval. Typical customer: A leading consumer electronics manufacturer in South China.
  2. Automotive Parts Workshops
    Applied in auto parts assembly workshops to store small fasteners (e.g., M3-M5 screws, nuts, washers) and auxiliary parts (e.g., plastic clips, gaskets). Each rotary lane is assigned to a specific part type, and the system’s inventory warning ensures timely restocking—avoiding delays in vehicle assembly due to missing parts. Typical use case: An automotive component supplier reduces material retrieval time by 75% after adoption.
  3. Pharmaceutical & Medical Device Distribution
    Used in pharmaceutical warehouses or hospital pharmacies to store small-batch medical supplies (e.g., syringes, medical gloves, oral medications). The cabinet’s sealed bins (optional) maintain material sterility, and expiration warning function prevents use of expired products—complying with GSP (Good Supply Practice) standards for pharmaceuticals. Typical customer: A regional medical device distributor.
  4. Logistics & E-Commerce Fulfillment Centers
    For storing small items (e.g., jewelry, electronic accessories, spare parts) in order fulfillment warehouses. The high-density storage reduces warehouse rental costs, and automatic lane positioning speeds up order picking—improving order fulfillment efficiency by over 40%. Typical customer: A cross-border e-commerce fulfillment center specializing in small commodities.
  5. Laboratory & R&D Centers
    Suitable for university or enterprise R&D labs to store small experimental materials (e.g., chemical reagents, microchips, test tubes). The independent rotary lanes prevent cross-contamination of materials, and inventory tracking ensures traceability of experimental supplies—supporting reproducibility of research results. Typical customer: A material science R&D laboratory affiliated with a university.
